Surplus Men Factoid of the Day

The Economist reports:

the proportion of people who have never been married rose sharply, to 28.6% of women and 35.2% of men.

Link. Doesn't this have to mean (a) that men as marriage partners are going out of fashion in general; but (b) of those who remain marketable, they are more likely than women to have multiple marriages. Or the shorter version: the alphas get the babes. But you knew that.
